We're 'finishing up' with hubby's 2 weeks of 'home holidays'. He helped me at work, so I got get done faster...which was actually fun (we're all in the same industry, more or less, so we can help each other when it works out). I'm tired (from a busier than usual week), so not much happening today, but we have a wedding dance to go to tonight...which should be fun!

Went on a day trip to Fort Carlton yesterday. Had a good time! While there's not much at the site, it's still pretty well done and well maintained. They are reconstructing more buildings too...so we'll be back to see them when they're done. We even had a chance to canoe down the Saskatchewan River for a little bit...with a guide...and try some split pea and bacon soup. Quite good...I'm gonna make some this fall...

Had to buy $65 worth of beverages today for my husband to take to his managers retreat for work. This is the first time we have bought that many alcoholic drinks in years. (He doesnt drink beer and I havent drank for years.) It is probably a bad idea to have a non beer drinker pick out the drinks. Hehehe.

Working on a new project...and it's taking me extra time to figure out what I'm doing.

Got to work early to actually get something done...but between interruptions and everything taking longer...it's been 4 hours and I haven't done much of anything. I think I'll stay later today just to get something done to feel like I've done something...

Did any of that make sense?

My fall schedule/routine starts today too...orchestra rehearsal tonight! Woohoo! I love rehearsal! The only thing I don't like is all the extra driving I'll be doing...back and forth...back and forth...

Today I am catching up on all the chores I put off while getting my Mother-In-Laws retirement quilt finished up. (Which is a surprise that I enlisted her co-worker on.. and is being mailed out to her work today!)

Then hopefully I can put in some good work on my shawl I'm making a friend and perhaps wrap gifts for Mr.Trill's (he'll love that!) birthday this coming Thursday.

More work work...trying to find stuff in files that weren't my files to begin with - to put together a new file...lol.

I got new pegs put on my violin and picked it up yesterday...and it's new case finally arrived (been waiting almost a year). Love the new case...so I'm go home and will 'organize' it after work...move all my stuff over from the old case...and tune my violin...and practice. All good!

I've never had a really well made case before...there is a difference! At least in the quality of the materials and the workmanship. Dunno if you need it (provided you're not overly rough with your stuff)...but it is nice to have...

I'm back after another hiatus... Been very distracted. Partly by my pokemon game and the shiny that I FINALLY hatched (it was a roggenrola and I had to hatch over 7,000 eggs to get it) but also by the free 14-day xbox live gold membership trial one of my friends gave me. We've been playing Halo 3 and 4 in multiplayer campaign and Spartan Ops, and even tried some Left 4 Dead 2 in VS mode. With money I got for my birthday I bought a copy of the Halo: Combat Evolved anniversary edition, but the trial expired before we could co-op it. I'm also waiting for a proper headset to arrive so I can actually talk to my co-players. The "jump once for yes, twice for no, and like an idiot for 'over here!'" method leaves a lot to be desired.

I also completed the Portal 2 single-player story and am looking for a co-player for the co-op mode for when I get my own xbox live membership next month.

Am VERY paranoid right now... There's a huge spider in my room but it ran off when I tried to catch it, and now I have no idea where it went >_> <_<

The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of the act
